Spicy Chili Cheese Hot Dogs

Chili and hot dogs go together like butter and popcorn. Or peas and carrots. Actually better than those pairings. Me, I like a little kick so I made spicy chili cheese hot dogs. That perfect pairing just got even better. And even better, they definitely satisfy my ‘messier is better’ theory because these dogs are definitely messy. Don’t be tempted to eat these with a fork and knife. That’s not right. You gotta get in there and get messy!

Spicy Chili Cheese Hot Dogs

Easy. Or Not.

You can take two routes when making some spicy chili cheese hot dogs. You could grab a can of meatless chili out of the pantry. And a jar of jalapeno queso. Even some pre-cut onions. In just a few minutes you could be enjoying these dogs. Or you could make some chili, throw together a cheese sauce, and go the from-scratch route. Either way, they’re gonna be good. It’s up to you.

If I’ve got the time I’ll cook my dogs on the grill. Nothing beats a juicy, beefy dog over charcoal. But if I don’t, it’s off the air fryer I got. Not only does the air fryer cook dogs up great, it also toasts the buns perfectly.

I use a pretty straight-forward air fryer, that doesn’t have a lot of bells (ok, it has a bell for when the timer goes off!) and whistles. It gets the job done.

Wicked Sticky Wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

Warning: The term ‘sticky’ is a tremendous understatement when it comes to describing these Wicked Sticky wings made on the Char-Broil Big Easy. Think sticky molasses, and then think stickier. Don’t spill the sauce (like someone I know might have done) or you will be cleaning counter tops and sinks and what-not for days. Trust me. Now, on to the wings…

These wings are crazy good. Wicked heat. Sticky sweet. I made them crispy style on my Char-Broil Big Easy, but you can make them anyway you like, from smoking them to deep frying them. It’s the sauce that shines here, and boy is it messy great. Wicked sticky wings are called that for a reason.

Wicked Sticky Wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy

I went simple with the dipping sauce for these wings. Just straight-out-of-the-bottle chilled Ranch dressing. Nothing fancy, just something to offset the kick of the sauce just a bit.

Don’t like sticky? Try my crispy Big Easy wings instead.

It’s always a good idea to keep a few spare grease trays on hand for your Char-Broil Big Easy.

Ultimate Sriracha Burger

Sriracha hot sauce finds its way into a lot of our dishes. Not because we like super-hot foods, but because we like a little spice in them. This ultimate Sriracha burger is a great example. Great grilled (I used my Weber grill) burgers with Sriracha mixed in with every bite. A little Sriracha in the beef, and a little more in a cool, creamy Ranch sauce that tops the entire burger off. Cool tomatoes and crunchy onions, a little lettuce, and some smoky bacon top off what is one of best burgers you can make.

Ultimate Sriracha Burger

Nothing But Flavor In Every Bite

These ultimate Sriracha burgers were a huge hit. I expect to be making them often. They were certainly full of great spicy flavor. Just like my taco burgers, which you’ll also love.

I like to use a burger press when I make burgers. It, in combination with some patty papers, enables me to crank out a whole bunch of equally-sized burger patties in no time at all with little cleanup.

Tingle Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Wings. You know I love them if you’ve ever been to this blog before. I make them often, on a bunch of different grills, smokers and fryers, in a bunch of different flavors. And very often. Probably more often than I should.

So, I had to make this wonderful Tingle wing recipe that I found over on the Traeger website. Traeger is a manufacturer of all sorts of awesome grills. They also sell rubs and spices and all sorts of gadgets for the backyard cook. And, luckily, they also have a large collection of recipes.

Tingle Wings

These Tingle wings have the right combination of heat (jalapenos and hot sauce) and sweet (sweet BBQ sauce and honey). Really very good, and not overpowering, so you can make a big batch of these wings and not worry about scaring off anyone that doesn’t like a little kick in their wings.

If I’m reaching for a bottled BBQ sauce, I often go for Sweet Baby Ray’s.

Three-Meat Spicy Chili

I’m pretty much in cold weather cooking mode this week. Time-to-hunker-down, it’s-brrrr-cold-outside cooking mode. Anything I make is gonna have to warm me up and keep me warm. Time to make three-meat spicy chili! Great meaty flavor, beans, and of course, a spicy kick. I know it’s not ‘traditional’ but I love Italian sausage in chili. Love it! It adds so much more flavor than using boring ground beef!

Three-Meat Spicy Chili

Spicy Smoky Greatness

This chili also is full of one of my other favorite flavors: chipotles in adobo. Chipotles add that great smoky flavor, and just enough heat that you’re going to notice it. The chili comes out rich and flavorful, absolutely perfect for a cool fall day. I make sure to make a big batch of three-meat spicy chili and freeze some of the extra in single-portion containers for easy lunches throughout the week.

I like to use my good ole trusty Dutch oven to make this soup and pretty much darned near anything like it on my stovetop. It’s nice and big and sturdy. That extra weight helps it maintain and distribute heat perfectly. As an added bonus, it’s actually pretty easy to clean up too!

Tex-Mex Bacon Cheeseburgers

That’s it. I’m done. There’s absolutely no need for me to ever make any other hamburger patties besides the ones on these Tex-Mex bacon cheeseburgers. Sure, the cheese sauce is amazing (it’s actually a bit beyond amazing, and would also be fantastic on hot dogs), but the patties are the star of the show. Any burger patty I make in the future will be just like these. Tender, juicy, smoky, and incredibly tasty. With a bit of a kick. Tremendous. And not meatloaf-y, either. You know the kind of burgers I’m talking about. They’re more like meatloaf than burger. Don’t worry, these do not cross the line into meatloaf-ness.

Tex-Mex Bacon Cheeseburgers

Flavor-Packed Patties. Messy Sauce. Fantastic!

Grating onions can take a bit of time, but it’s well worth the effort on these Tex-Mex bacon cheeseburgers. Although you can sort of duplicate the texture by pureeing the onions in a blender, I’ve found it’s best to get out a box grater, grab an onion, and just get to work.

I like to use a burger press when I make burgers. It, in combination with some patty papers, enables me to crank out a whole bunch of equally-sized burger patties in no time at all with little cleanup.

Sweet-and-Spicy Appetizer Meatballs

We have long enjoyed our favorite appetizer meatball recipe, but this version of sweet-and-spicy appetizer meatballs from Johnsonville takes the idea to a new level.

Johnsonville recently came out with a line of meatballs. They are soooooo much better than the usual pre-made meatballs you can pick up in your grocer’s freezer section. This is our first time using them, but I can definitely see us cooking with them more! I also substitute my fantastic homemade meatballs. If I have any. They seem to disappear awfully quick around here.

Sweet-and-Spicy Appetizer Meatballs

A Bit Different

I think the elements that really make these meatballs stand out are the great meatballs, of course, and also the Kalamata olives. They really add a great richness to the sauce. These sweet-and-spicy appetizer meatballs are perfect for game-time munching!

Sweet Spicy and Salty Candied Pecans

We recently returned from my parent’s home, where we spent Thanksgiving. My dad has 8 or so very large pecan trees (4 are commercial and the others are ‘volunteers’). This year, one of the trees that hasn’t produced nuts for over 8 years really put out a crop. My dad had over 10 paper grocery bags already picked by the time we arrived. He picked 3 more paper bags in just a few days. Time to make sweet spicy and salty candied pecans.

Sweet, Spicy and Salty Candied Pecans

Fresh Georgia Pecans Are The Best!

I always make sure to make off with some of dad’s pecans. This time he gave us 3 pounds of the most perfect, tasty pecans ever. These pecans are like gold. This recipe for sweet spicy and salty candied pecans makes for a fantastic snack, if you can keep from eating all of the nuts before you make it.

Sriracha Oyster Cracker Bites

After making (and devouring) a big batch of my Sriracharitos (Sriracha-flavored tortilla chips) the other day, I still had Sriracha snacks on the brain. I noticed a bag of oyster crackers in the pantry, so the next step was pretty obvious: Sriracha oyster cracker bites. Easy to make, and addicting as anything you can imagine. A great crunch and of course, a little Sriracha kick. Don’t like a lot of heat? Just cut back on the amount of spice mix. But, I think more is definitely better on these snacks.

Sriracha Mustard Sauce

This is my go-to, bring-the-heat Sriracha mustard sauce. Although it is spicy (hey, there’s Sriracha in it), and a bit mustardy, it also has a great smoky flavor thanks to the smoked jalapenos (chipotles). I keep several cans of chipotles in adobo sauce on hand at all times. It’s great mixed in not only with this sauce, but I have been known to also add it to mayonnaise and ketchup.

Sriracha Mustard Sauce

A Great All-Around Sauce

I keep a double batch of this Sriracha mustard sauce in the fridge in a big squeeze bottle. A few squirts on hot dogs, or burgers, or a sandwich, really brings the food to life. I love it as a dipping sauce for my smoked sausages, or squeezed over my cedar-planked Polish sausage sandwiches.
